The Jewish "gentleman" who had bought this home In Rldgewood made the following statement: "In a real sense the Board of Realtors is right ... A town can be killed by the wrong kind of people, regardless ot their cre.ed or their color" ; . . Then this Jew pleaded exonerating circum¬ stances — because he had not been in synagogue all his life exceiit tor weddings and funer¬ als . . .-This happened in 1945 In the United States ot America whose, sons are dying to free the world trom Fascism . . .
